SO Beirut: High End Good Quality Sushi

SO:

Sushi @sobeirut ashrafieh. High end place in Ashrafieh. Compared to other high end expensive places, the value for money is better. Score: 8/10 (great but some improvements are still needed)

Pros :

+Premium quality scottish salmon
+Good quality crab and shrimp
+Tasty well cooked dumplings
+Crispy is crunchy as it’s supposed to be
+Good presentation
+High end ambience (a little too high end)
+Knowledgeable and friendly manager

Cons :

-The rice used is not Japanese short grain, it’s regular length (probably because of current supply limits)
-The temaki seaweed is moist and not crunchy (Kampai’s temaki is better). Nori should be roasted.
-A couple nigiri salmon pieces looked low fat, as if cut from tail not belly.
-Some waiters weren’t friendly.

Items not to miss:

Salmon Tataki, Maki spicy salmon, Maki dragon.

Pricing:

 expensive place especially for the pieces at around 25 000 LL per piece. But good value for money and other not so expensive dishes (compared to Kampai; bill in last slide).

Conclusion:

 if you’re looking for a high end place, So is a good choice. PS: they also have Italian. Would you try it?
